Title: Need Cover Recommendations
Post by: p40whk on November 25, 2014, 01:30:51 PM: Had a house fire in my garage so my 300i is outside while renovations take place. There are a ton of covers on the market but I was hoping someone had some experience with any that fit the 300i pretty well that they would or would not recommend.

Thanks!

Here's what I use:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/XL-Motorcycle-Waterproof-Outdoor-Motorbike-Rain-Vented-Bike-Cover-Extra-Large-/141377051208?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item20eaba9a48 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/XL-Motorcycle-Waterproof-Outdoor-Motorbike-Rain-Vented-Bike-Cover-Extra-Large-/141377051208?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item20eaba9a48)

One note I would add is that the black part (top) of the cover is not very UV resistant. In about 6 months it started to fade and weaken. It's not a permanent solution, but for the price it's all right I think. The link is for the XL size which fits the 300i perfectly.

That was 6 years ago, and It's still as good as new.

Especially, in the southwest covers get torn up by the sun! A neighbor gave me a cover and it has been working good. I do some HVLP air spraying and I started spraying the excess the cover starting with the stitched seams. It helps prevent the sun from destroying it.
